Internships and Summer Jobs

A career-related summer experience can help you explore your interests in a career field. It can also give you an opportunity to develop your skills further so you'll have a competitive edge in your full-time job search.

Start early and prepare carefully: finding a good summer job or an internship will be worth your time and effort!

General Information

Job-search techniques for summer jobs are the same as those for permanent jobs; you'll find helpful information about conducting a thorough job search as well as writing resumes and cover letters in this site.

A good starting point from which to identify a summer job or internship is through the Cornell Handshake Jobs listings. All jobs and internships that we are aware of are posted at this location. Summer opportunities can be posted at any time during the year, and it's not unusual to see high-quality summer internships posted as early as October.

A number of competitive summer internships have application deadlines in November, December, and January. It's good practice to check these listings weekly during the fall semester and several times a week during the spring semester. The job lists are updated daily, with the newest postings appearing at the top of the list for your selected region/field.

An additional excellent resource is the Kerberos-protected database of information about summer experiences provided by other students. You just might find contacts for a great opportunity in a location that suits you.

Don't forget to explore the many resources for entry-level positions; the employer information listed through any resource can give you leads to make inquiries about possible summer opportunities, and also for informational interviewing and career exploration possibilities.

You may also find useful links to job-posting sites through the CCS Library in 103 Barnes Hall or in the following resources:
